I have always dedicated my life to helping others as a Registered Behavior Technician, working closely with autistic children and making a positive impact in their lives. In September 2025, while being treated for colitis, doctors discovered a rare cancerous cyst on my pancreas. This unexpected diagnosis has turned my world upside down, and I now face the daunting challenge of undergoing a major, complex Whipple surgery to remove the tumor and protect my health.

The road ahead is filled with uncertainty, not only because of the surgery itself but also due to the financial strain it brings. I will need to take an unpaid medical leave of absence from my job, and the costs of surgery, medical bills, and recovery are overwhelming. Despite these challenges, I remain hopeful and continue to rely on my faith to guide me through this difficult time.

It's with a humble heart that I ask for donations from family, friends, and the community. Your support will help cover my surgery deductible, medical expenses, and provide some relief as I focus on healing. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in my journey. Thank you for standing with me and showing that I am not alone.
